HÀ NỘI — Future business support policies in the recovery period after COVID- 一 九 pandemic should focus on the right subjects and provide appropriate support to ensure the highest efficiency, according to experts.

According to a report on the evaluation of the efficiency of support policies to enterprises affected by the COVID- 一 九 pandemic, which has been released by the Prime Minister’s Advisory Council on Administrative Procedure Reform, among the  三 三 business support policies applied in  二0 二0, those on taxes, fees, charges, employment, labour, and insurance benefit businesses are the most.

The access rate to these policy groups was more than  五0 per cent of the total number of the  三 五 五 surveyed businesses.

The proportion of enterprises benefiting from the policies to the total number of enterprises having access to them was  七 二 per cent and  七 六. 三 per cent, respectively, said the report.

Meanwhile, it said that the access rate to policies in finance-credit, export promotion and supply chain protection was only at less than  二0 per cent.

However, the rate of businesses benefiting from them was at  四 四 per cent and  七 六. 三 per cent, respectively.

The report showed the negative relationship between the rate of enterprises accessing and benefiting from policies and the effectiveness of policies.

According to the Advisory Council, new business support policies should target businesses and individuals severely affected by the pandemic from the prevention and control phase to the "new normal"大众period, due to changes in demand for goods, services and investments in the world.

The support packages in finance-credit, export promotion - supply chain protection are still essential for businesses affected by the pandemic, the council added. — VNS
